Kingspan Insulation has launched AlphaCore Pad, an A2-s1,d0 rated rainscreen insulation board with a thermal conductivity of just 0.020 W/mK. Featuring a hydrophobic insulation core, AlphaCore opens up new dimensions in design, delivering a thin and resilient insulation solution which can be used behind rainscreen façades in all buildings regardless of building type, height, construction and location.

Kingspan AlphaCore Pad comprises a monolithic core made of microporous silica which is sewn into glass fibre fabric. This innovative, hydrophobic core delivers enhanced resilience in this challenging application.

Available in thicknesses between 20 – 50 mm, it delivers premium thermal performance for an A2-s1,d0 rated solution. This can make it possible to achieve demanding U-value targets with slimmer constructions than may be possible with traditional Euroclass A1 and Euroclass A2-s1,d0 insulation materials, allowing more internal space to be realised from the footprint of a building.

Kingspan AlphaCore Pad is rigorously assessed under Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) System 1 for EN 13501-1 Reaction to Fire. The product is manufactured to the highest standards under a management system certified to ISO 9001: 2015 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001: 2015 (Environmental Management System), ISO 45001: 2018 (Occupational Health & Safety Management System) and ISO 50001: 2018 (Energy Management System).

The product is backed by leading technical support including onsite Toolbox Talk training sessions from Kingspan Insulation’s experienced Product Technicians. These sessions cover all aspects of installation from handling through to fixings and detailing to ensure an effective installation.
